Coypu insulin. Primary structure, conformation and biological properties of a hystricomorph rodent insulin [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1986
Insulin from a hystricomorph rodent, coypu (Myocaster coypus), was isolated and purified to near homogeneity. Like the other insulins that have been characterized in this Suborder of Rodentia, coypu insulin also exhibits a very low (3%) biological potency, relative to pig insulin, on lipogenesis in isolated rat fat-cells.

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2873-2896, October 2026.
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Cortisol resistance in the degu (Octodon degus)

open access: yes, 2022
Cortisol resistance has also been reported in the degu, Octodon degus, a New World hystricomorph endemic to central Chile. The degu is used as a model for studies of stress and diurnal rhythms, parental behaviour and female masculinization.

A classification of the Gliridae (Rodentia) on the basis of dental morphology

open access: yesHystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1995
<strong>Abstract</strong> The supra-familiar relationships of the Gliridae are discussed. The criterion used for subdividing the Gliridae is the morphology of the cheek teeth because this is the only character known for all taxa.

The primary structures of pancreatic ribonucleases from African porcupine and casiragua, two hystricomorph rodent species

open access: yes, 1982
The amino acid sequences of the pancreatic ribonucleases from African porcupine (Hystrix cristata) and casiragua (Proechimys guairae, a caviomorph rodent species related to the coypu) were determined.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Effects of enclosure size on activity and sleep of a hystricomorph rodent (Octodon degus) [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1980
Eight adult and eight infant degus were continuously observed over two 24-h sessions in order to determine the effects of large vs. small enclosure size on the stability of activity and sleep cycles. Behaviors were categorized into one of five mutually exclusive categories.
